Okay here's my weekend project
I'll create a Windows 11 virtual machine that will boot, then a macro will run that installs Chrome while closing every intervening Edge popup on its way. After the last popup is closed, the VM is reset to the pre-macro state.
I'll let Windows experience the eternity of me denying its unethical attempts to keep me from using Chrome. And I bet you I'll let it phone home every time.

    At this point, with edge being chromium too, functionally they are the same, so I no longer know which one is worse in terms of spyware. Google ain't exactly a saint in that aspect either.

    @CoreFusionX I know. I just want Edge to complain and try to stop me. It doesn't do it when you install Firefox

    In any case, let's see how edge handles the whole V3 manifesto thing.

    They could win over a lot of users just based on that.

    "With the added trust of Microsoft"

    I wonder how many users actually decide to use Edge because of this little text.

    @Demolishun that only incentivizes MS to annoy you more aggressively :)
